Coaching/Life Coaching/Executive Coaching/Mind Coach/Brain Training

Life Coaching aims to help and empower you to make, meet and exceed personal and professional goals.

Using techniques such as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and proven psychological principles, a coach provides the tools and guidance to face difficult situations and push past emotional barriers. Coaching empowers you to make the changes you need to make, without judgement or opinions. Your coach will not tell you what to do, but will help you to question your own thinking and take control of your own mind and life.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness has become a catchword, but is the most ancient of all healing disciplines. Mindfulness is more than living in the present, or being aware of your thoughts. Mindfulness practice is a way of training your brain and being in control of your thoughts and behaviour – as above!

Nutritional Therapy

More than simply telling you what nutrition is or isn’t, a good Nutritional Therapist will advise you on what is right for your body type and metabolism. You are what you eat is not merely a flippant saying, it is utterly true – what you eat affects you more than you think! Food affects MOOD. Food can make you irritable, anxious or depressed as it affects your chemical balance. A Nutritionist will tell you what to eat, but also what NOT to eat for your personal optimal health. Not everybody is the same.
